Chapter 127: Arrays and Formation

127- Arrays and Formation

Ding

All the stats except for [Vitality], [Charm] and [Luck] stat have been increased by 200

Damn... I better not be dreaming and I also hope that I am not using up my measly luck.

Like I had to go through many bad things and face dangers constantly. But now I am getting so many good things, how can I be not worried that my luck will be used up if this continues?

I am not complaining just worried, thats it.

Also, I can hardly hold back myself from disabling the Locking stats function and invest all the stored 9000+ Free stat points into the stats and feel the huge power increase.

But I held back that because I dont want it to interfere with my cultivation speed. Like, if I increase the stats and my body and abilities are upgraded then, what changes will happen when I cultivate further to the Evolver stage and Demi-human stage?

Will there even be any change or increase in power?

So, to prevent any mishaps, I decided that until my cultivation reaches the peak of the Demi-human stage, I will try adding Free stat points to stats.

.

Now, that I have reached the peak of the Refinement stage, to step into the Evolver stage I need some resources. And the main resource that I need is- Lower grade Energy stones.

If one wants to step into the Evolver stage, then he/she has to evolve and convert the [Qi] present in the body to Vital Energy which can be done by gathering and absorbing the Spiritual Qi present in the environment. And inject elemental power into the vital energy and wash the body with it.

But gathering and absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the environment is not an easy task.

Gathering the Spiritual Qi from the environment is like trying to roast the meat, but the meat is placed 3 meters above the ground and the fire is on the ground level.

Its not like it is difficult to gather Spiritual qi, it's just that people below the Transformation realm have difficulty in attracting and gathering the Spiritual qi. Cultivators in the Mortal realm need lots of concentration to attract Spiritual qi and the amount of Spiritual that can be gathered and absorbed is very low. But after stepping into the Transformation realm the speed of gathering and absorbing the Spiritual qi increases drastically.

Also, absorbing Spiritual qi into the body is a dangerous process because once the Spiritual qi is introduced into the body, it becomes very violent and can also cause internal damage or worse case the body explodes. Only a Demi-human stage cultivators body is barely able to handle the nature of the Spiritual qi.

But the Lower grade Energy stone can solve these issues.

A Lower grade Energy stone is naturally formed over years and is found deep inside the earth. From the Lower grade Energy stone, Spiritual Qi can be extracted, and although the extracted Spiritual Qi is diluted when compared to Spiritual qi available in the environment but it is less violent and helps the body in adapting to the characteristics of Spiritual Qi. And it also helps the body to familiarize with the Spiritual qi such that it makes it easier to gather Spiritual qi from the environment.

The diluted Spiritual qi from the Lower grade Energy stone can be solved with the help of Spiritual Qi compression formation.

The Spiritual Qi compression formation is Red grade- Level 1 formation

Formations have different grades and the grade division is similar to the weapons grade divisions.

Red grade, Orange grade, Yellow grade, Green grade, Blue grade, Indigo grade, and Violet grade.

The Red grade is the lowest grade formation available and the Violet grade formations are the best formations that can be made. There is no Normal grade.

Unlike 12 levels of weapon grades, formation grades have only 8 levels.

1st level is the lowest level formation in each grade, while the 8th level is the highest level formation in each grade.

There is a higher level to Formations, that is Arrays.

Arrays are the combination of 2 or more formations and are more complex to learn and make.

An array is also divided into different grades like Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet grades. And instead of 8 levels, each grade is divided into 5 levels.

Luckily though, I have learned the Spiritual Qi compression formation in the Gurukul school.

Of course, I would learn Formations and other side jobs. How could I not?

I have read many novels and mangas, so I know the importance of having knowledge in these fields and how it can help in the future.

The Spiritual Qi compression formation is a type of formation that purifies the Spiritual qi from the lower grade energy stones, and the extracted Spiritual Qis characteristics are similar to the Spiritual qi available in the atmosphere.

So, with the help of lower grade energy stone I can train and make my body adapt to Spiritual qi and then I can build the Spiritual Qi compression formation to gather Spiritual qi in my body.

After the Spiritual qi is gathered and the [Qi] in my body are combined together, that will produce the Vital energy.

But the problem is, I dont have any lower grade energy stone. I can exchange a lower grade energy stone from the system but it costs 1 million Sikka. And hardly have few hundred thousand Sikka.

[Authors note: MC is able to convert gold coins into Sikka and Sikka can also be converted into Gold coins. And if there are enough Sikka then it can also be converted into a lower grade energy stone. This was mentioned when the MC unlocked the Shop feature in the system. You can refer to the previous chapter for confirmation.]

I can ask for some lower grade energy stones from either Armelia or Sheela but I dont want to owe them anything.

I can try exchanging some goods with them but I dont know if they are willing to trade or not.

Maybe I should go on a trip to the human settlements? Anyway, I have been stuck in the forest for almost 2 years and I am getting bored of my daily life, it would be good for a change. Maybe I should go? Naah... then I will have to travel to and fro between the dark forest and the human settlements. That would waste more time.

Is there no other way?

Wait... there is a way, but I dont know if it will work or not.

System, can you tell me if MP can be converted to [Spiritual qi]?
